This paper describes a minimally invasive percutaneous technique for reduction and fixation of distal fibula fractures using plate osteosynthesis. We believe this technique benefits patients with poor quality soft tissue envelopes. So far a total of 25 patients have undergone percutaneous fixation, 22 females and 3 males. At no stage yet has a minimally invasive procedure been abandoned intra-operatively in favour of conversion to an open procedure. The mean age was 61.6 years (range 25-80 years). The mean time to surgery was 2.00 days (range 0-5) and mean time to discharge was 4.20 days (range 1-9). At a minimum of over 1 year's follow-up all fractures have healed, with no delayed unions or complications so far experienced.
本文介绍了一种经皮微创技术，通过钢板内固定治疗腓骨远端骨折。我们认为这种技术对软组织条件较差的患者有益。到目前为止，共有 25 名患者接受了经皮固定治疗，其中女性 22 例，男性 3 例。在任何阶段，都没有因为微创而放弃手术，转而进行开放手术。患者的平均年龄为 61.6 岁（范围 25-80 岁）。手术平均时间为 2.00 天（范围 0-5 天），平均出院时间为 4.20 天（范围 1-9 天）。在至少 1 年的随访中，所有骨折均愈合，目前尚无延迟愈合或并发症发生。
